To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMIL GLAVIEZ, a citizen of the German Empire,residing at Chem nitz, in the Kingdom of Saxony and German Empire, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for MakingYarn or Thread from Paper, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent inGermany, No. 93,324, dated May 4, 1895; in France, No. 252,949, datedJanuary 3, 1896 in Austria, No. 46/1,984, dated December 13, 1895; inEngland, No. 23, 942,dated December 13, 1895; in Hungary, No. 5,692,dated December 20, 1895; in Belgium, No. 118,993, dated December 23,1895; in Italy, No. 40,565, dated J anuary 9, 1896; in Sweden, No.7,932, dated January 13, 1896; in Norway, No. 5,047, dated January 14,1896 in Denmark, No. 924, dated January 20, 1896; in Spain, No. 18,551,dated January 18, 1896; in Portugal,NoI2,141,dated January 18, 1896; inLuxemburg, No. 2,593, dated August 21, 1896; in India, No. 126, datedApril 8, 1896; in Brazil, No. 2,042, dated April 6, 1896; in Chile, No.779, dated May 6, 1897, and in Switzerland, No. 11,830, dated January15, 1896,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an apparatus for making yarn or thread frompaper; and the object of the same is to produce a yarn or thread frompaper strips without the use of vegetable fibers, which yarn or threadmay be used in the same manner as any other yarn or thread which is madeof wool, flax, hemp, or the like.

My invention consists of certain features of construction andcombinations of parts to be hereinafter described and then claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation ofa drawing-frame and a drying apparatus with the twisting apparatusmounted on the drawing-frame. Fig. 2 is a detail View of the spinningapparatus.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Preparatory to the practical use of my invention the paper strips fromwhich the yarn or thread is to be made are produced in any suitablemanner.

The yoke-shaped twisting apparatus consists of a twisting-frame 9, (seeFig. 2,) which is provided 'with a suitable spindle 9, on which a spool2 is placed, one end of said spindle being pivoted to one of thebranches of the yoke, while the other end is detachable from the otherbranch of the yoke to facilitate the introduction and removal of thespool. The twisting-frame 9 is provided with a vertical shaft 10, whichis journaled in suitable bearings in the frame B of the drawingmechanism. The rotation of the shaft 10 and the consequent rotation ofthe twisting-frame 9 are accomplished through the medium of a suitabledriving mechanism 12, whereby the necessary twist is imparted to theshreds or strips conducted from the spools. From the spools the twistedthreads are drawn over a guide-roller 13 into the preliminarydrawingrolls 14', mounted in the upper part of the frame'B. By means ofthe preliminary drawing-rolls 14 the twist imparted to the shreds orstrips 11 is rendered even. To the rear of the drawing-rolls 14 aremounted a pair of rolls 15, and to the rear of these are also mounted apair of rolls 16, these latter rolls forming a portion of the drawingmechanism. The lower roll of the pair of rolls 15 dips into a fount ortrough 15, which is supplied with suitable chemicals which are appliedto the shreds or strips drawn between the rolls 14 and 16, whereby theshreds or strips are impregnated with chemicals and a smooth appearanceimparted to the surfaces of the shreds or strips. After the impregnationof the shreds or strips by the chemicals in the trough 15 they are againcompressed between the drawing-rolls 16, the same being simultaneouslystretched. The drawing or stretch ing is produced by reason of the factthat the second drawing-rolls 16 have a greater peripheral speed thanthe drawing-rolls 14.

To the rear of the drawing apparatus is arranged a drying apparatus 18,the threads produced by the drawing mechanism being led under aguide-roller 17, supported by the frame B, through a pair ofguide-rollers 19, mounted in front of the drying apparatus, through theupper part of the latter, and finally out of the same between a pair ofguiderollers 20, from whence the threads are drawn in dry condition by asuitable winding-up mechanism which winds them into cops.

The drying apparatus 18 is provided at about its central portion with asuitable heater or radiator 22, arranged in its casing 21, and below theheater 22 are mounted two parallel exhaust-fans 23 23. The object of theexhaust-fan is to set in motion the dry air in the drying apparatus andvibrate the threads, so that the drying process is facilitated.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent In apparatus for making yarn or thread from paper,mechanism for imparting a twist to the shreds of paper, a pair of rollsfor pu1ling the twisted shreds from said mechanism, a pair ofdrawing-rolls, means for revolving the latter at a greater rate of speedthan the pulling-rolls, mechanism for applying suitable size to thetwisted shreds between the pulling-rolls and the drawing-rolls, a dryingdevice, and means for conducting the threads from the drawing-rollsthrough the drying device, substantially as set forth.
